THE WOLVERINE - New Photos and Trailer Release Date Confirmed
Here's a few new images from director James Mangold's The Wolverine. One is another character portrait that the director tweeted of Russian actress Svetlana Khodchenkova who plays Viper in the film. There's a couple other new images from Total Film magazine including some better quality scans of a couple images we posted yesterday.
Along with the images, the director confirmed that we would see the first trailer for the film with the upcoming G.I. Joe: Retaliation movie set to be released on March 27th, 2013. I imagine it will hit the internet earlier though.
@movie_maniac_ @gijoemovie The Teaser comes out on that date, yes. It will be about 2 minutes. The trailer (longer) will follow after that.

The Wolverine stars Hugh Jackman, Will Yun Lee, Khodchenkova, Hiroyuki Sanada, Hal Yamanouchi, Tao Okamoto, Rila Fukushima, and Brian Tee. It's set to hit theaters on July 26th, 2013. Here's the synopsis...
Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine, the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before.
